The correct answer is B

The genetic codes language in all living organisms is the same. This is to say that the molecules of life namely DNA and RNA share the same make up in all living things .

There are five types of nucleotides in nature which are the building blocks of RNA and DNA and these are the same in all living organisms . These nucleotides are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine and Uracil.

According to base pairing rules, in all DNA molecules Adenine will always pair with Thymine while Guanine will always pair with Cytosine.

This rule is the same with RNA except that here Thymine is replaced with Uracil. Otherwise the base pairing rule applies in all living organisms, that is to say it is universal.

Which of the following statements is false? - DNA polymerase joins nucleotides in one direction only. - The leading strand of DN

stiv31 [10]

DNA replication proceeds in one direction around the bacterial chromosome.

Explanation:

Replication of DNA is preserved across most of life. Therefore, even bacteria DNA replication occurs bidirectionally. During replication of DNA, A primer is required in the initiation complex before DNA polymersae can begin replication. This is because this enzyme works by adding DNA nucleotides at the 3’ end of an existing strand. DNA can have several replication forks on one double strand in which replication occurs. For every fork, there is a leading strand whereby the replication process by DNA polymerase is continuous and the lagging strand whereby the replication is done in bits by the same polymerase enzymes. The lagging strand will, therefore, require many primers. This is becaue strands of DNA are antiparallel yet the DNA polymerase has to move in one direction. Since replication can only occur in the 5’⇒3’ direction, the antiparallel strand will be done in 5’⇒3’ chunks that will later be joined into one strand.

Ms. sally ping has vaginal discharge, pain in the llq and rlq, dysmenorrhea, and a gonococcal infection. a likely diagnosis is:

mariarad [96]

A likely diagnosis would be a pelvic inflammatory disease. It is an infection of the reproductive system of a female. It would include the ovaries, uterus, cervix and the fallopian tube. It is commonly caused by STI or sexually transmitted infection like gonorrhea and <span>chlamydia</span>. Symptoms include pain in the pelvis and the lower belly, heavy discharge with unpleasant smell, pain during intercourse, bleeding, fever and pain when urinating. If this disease is not treated well it could lead to more serious problems or complications like trouble in getting pregnant and pain in the pelvic area that does not go away.
